Anyone who has been following the campaign might not be surprised that the console makers were able to meet their goal so quickly. Shortly after the project's Kickstarter went live on the web, it raised over $200,000 in financial commitments. By 3 p.m. Eastern time, that number rose to $600,000.

We've reached out to the folks behind Ouya for a reaction and we'll post it as soon as we hear back from them. We're sure they aren't at their desks because of the massive, New Year's Eve style celebration they are having in their offices right now. At least that's what I would be doing if I could raise over $1 million in a single day.
